JJ I think you hit the nail squarely on the head - the Boxster swap is too costly. I was seriously looking to have you do a swap until I started adding up the numbers - shocking

I bought bought a 2013 Boxster S instead. A one owner PDK car with 4340 miles and 16 months warranty remaining. I bought the car for not much more than what the V8 conversion would have cost.

I have talked to several other folks that convert tired Porsche's into V8 monsters - the 911 platform is the ticket and to a lesser extent the 914. None of them use Renegade they do their own stuff.

Many thanks for sharing this build with us - it was enjoyable and sadly an eye opener. Let me know what your next project is.
